When it come to luxury SUVs, the 2024 Infiniti QX60 Autograph presented itself as a refined and enhanced contender for those looking for an SUV in this market. We found it positioned to captivate drivers with its own blend of luxury, performance and technology.
Infiniti, a brand that is known for its commitment to luxury and innovation, has built many vehicles that not only have met but exceeded our expectations every time we’ve gotten behind the wheel.
As we drove the QX60 throughout our weeklong test drive, it become evident that this mid-sized offering was not just a mode of transportation but more of a sanctuary on wheels, offering us a unique driving experience every day.
Exterior design
At first glance, the 2024 QX60 commanded our attention with its striking presence and distinctive design cues. Infiniti’s signature double-arch grille, flanked by LED headlights with adaptive lighting, manifested confidence and a look of sophistication.
The sleek lines and sculpted contours of the body created a sense of passion, while the available 20-inch alloy wheels added a touch of elegance to the overall look of the Infiniti. From every angle, the QX60 had a different look, making a bold statement both in our driveway and, more importantly, on the road.
Interior comfort and luxury
Getting inside the cabin of the 2024 QX60 Autograph, we were greeted by a world of luxury, convenience and comfort. The interior had been crafted with premium materials such as quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery, genuine wood trim and brushed aluminum accents, creating an atmosphere of opulence and refinement.
The spacious cabin offered us ample room for up to seven passengers with the rear seats up, ensuring that everyone traveled in comfort, even with our grandkids in the vehicle. We loved the available second-row captain’s chairs that added an extra level of exclusivity.
The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the interior design, from the heated and ventilated front seats with massage function to the trizone automatic climate control system, which allowed virtually everyone inside to customize their comfort levels.
The panoramic moonroof flooded the cabin with natural light and created an airy and inviting atmosphere, while the acoustic laminated glass ensured a serene driving experience free from many of the outside noises and distractions.
Technology and connectivity
The 2024 QX60 Autograph was equipped with an array of advanced technology features designed to enhance convenience, connectivity and safety. The dual-display infotainment system incorporated a 12.3-inch touch screen display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that provided seamless access to navigation, entertainment and vehicle settings.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless integration allowed us to easily connect to our smartphones and access all of our favorite content like podcasts and music on the go.
The QX60 also offered a suite of driver-assistance technologies, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring, which work together to help prevent accidents and keep everyone safe on the road.
Additionally, the included head-up display projected important information directly onto the windshield, allowing us to stay informed without taking our eyes off the road, an awesome addition to any vehicle.
Performance and handling
Under the hood, the 2024 QX60 Autograph was powered by a refined 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired with a smooth-shifting nine-speed transmission. This powertrain delivered a potent 295 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque that provided ample acceleration and passing power whenever we needed it.
The SUV effortlessly glided over city streets and highways, with very responsive steering and composed handling that instilled confidence for both of us, even when we were in tight traffic or parking situations.
Infiniti’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system dynamically adjusted power delivery to each wheel, optimizing traction and stability in all driving conditions, even in a couple of late spring storms.
Whether we were navigating through rain-slicked streets or traversing an unpaved trail, the QX60 delivered a sure-footed and engaging driving experience that kept us completely confident behind the wheel.
Safety features
The safety features we noted were paramount in the 2024 QX60, with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features designed to protect anyone inside the SUV and prevent accidents. Standard safety technologies included forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection and rear cross-traffic alert, which provided an extra layer of security on every journey.
Additionally, the QX60 Autograph offered ProPILOT Assist system, which combined adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist to provide semi-autonomous driving capabilities on the highway.
